2003 Mercedes-Benz CL55 Kompressor AMG Transmission: automaticMileage:12919The name CL stands for the German 'Coupé Leicht' or Coupé Light. The CL-Class is based on the S-Class full-size luxury car known at first as the SEC and later S coupé. It was spun off into its own, current name in 1996 and in 1997 for North American markets. The CL continued to follow the same development cycle as the S, although riding on a shorter wheelbase and sharing the same engines, albeit with less choice, as only the higher-output power trains were offered. The second generation CL or the W215 chassis coupé of 2000-2006 came in various guises with this example being the supercharged V8-powered CL55 AMG. It came equipped with the very latest in Mercedes-Benz technology and, along with the S-Class saloons; the CL coupés received all new technological features.Purchased from new on 15th May 2005 by our vendor, this incredibly low mileage example of the supercharged V8 powered CL55 AMG Kompressor which possesses 493bhp and is capable of 0-60 in 4.8 seconds cost £98,564 new. Specified with £5,674 of options including radar assist cruise control, keyless go, a TV tuner in front, Nokia 6210 WAP phone, 19" AMG alloy wheels, electric rear roller blind and Linguatronic. Presented in metallic silver with a black leather trim this example has covered a mere 12,919 miles with much of its recent life dry stored in the vendors garage alongside its sister SL55. Recently recommissioned with an oil and filter change, new fuel pump, new battery and new fluids this example represents a rare opportunity to own a modern classic coupé with supercar credentials. Offered with the original book pack and service booklet showing two early services stamped in 2004 and 2009 with Mercedes-Benz dealers, the last at 12,860. This Mercedes comes to auction without reserve with and MoT certificate until November 2024 and viewing is highly recommended.Guide Price £15,000-£20,000Interested parties should note that this example has been stored for some 10 years.

LUDWIG HEINRICH JUNGNICKEL* (Wunsiedel 1881 - 1965 Wien)Zwei AffenkinderKohle/Papier, 24 × 30,4 cmSCHÄTZPREIS € 300 - 600STARTPREIS € 300Jungnickel war der Sohn eines Tischlers. 1885 übersiedelte die Familie nach München, wo er die Kunstgewerbeschule besuchte. Der Archäologe Orazio Maruchi ermöglichte es ihm, in den Sammlungen des Vatikans Kopien von den dortigen Bildern anzufertigen. Deren Qualität war so gut, dass man ihm eine Ausbildung zum Kirchenmaler vorschlug. Zu diesem Zweck wurde Ludwig Heinrich Jungnickel Zögling im Kloster Tanzenberg bei Klagenfurt. 1899 zog er nach Wien und schrieb sich an der Wiener Akademie in der Allgemeinen Malerschule bei Christian Griepenkerl ein. Um 1900 war er für den Kölner Schokoladeproduzenten Ludwig Stollwerck mit Entwürfen für Stollwerck-Sammelbilder tätig. Nach der Rückkehr von einer Ungarnreise inskribierte er sich 1902 bei Alfred Roller an der Kunstgewerbeschule des k. k. Museums für Kunst und Industrie. 1905 ging Jungnickel nach München an die Akademie der bildenden Künste zu Professor Marr und kehrte 1906 an die Wiener Akademie der bildenden Künste (William Unger) zurück. Der Durchbruch gelang ihm durch die Veröffentlichung von Bildern in Schablonenspritztechnik, die er nach der Kunstzeitschrift The Studio erfunden hatte. 1906 stellte er an der Wiener Secession aus, wurde aber nie Mitglied. Mitarbeiter der Wiener Werkstätte. Sein wohl bedeutendstes Werk für die WW waren Entwürfe eines Tierfrieses für ein Kinderzimmer im Palais Stoclet, Brüssel. In der Kunstschau Wien 1908 stellte Jungnickel erste Farbholzschnitte aus, denen 1909 eine Serie von Farbholzschnitten von Tieren aus dem Tiergarten Schönbrunn folgte. Bei der Internationalen Kunstausstellung 1911 in Rom erhielt er den Grafikerpreis, in Amsterdam die goldene Medaille. In Leipzig wurde ihm 1914 die Staatsmedaille der Internationalen Ausstellung für Buchgewerbe und Grafik Bugra verliehen und 1915 in San Francisco die Silber- und Bronzemedaille der Internationalen Ausstellung. 1911 erhielt Ludwig Heinrich Jungnickel die Professur an der Fachklasse für Graphische Kunst in Frankfurt. Im gleichen Jahr präsentierte er Farbholzschnitte mit Ansichten von Frankfurt. 1912 kehrte er nach Wien zurück und beschäftigte sich mit Tapetenentwürfen, Exlibris und Tierholzschnitten. Studienreisen führten Jungnickel 1912 nach Bosnien und in die Herzegowina und 1914 nach Ungarn. Während des Weltkriegs wechselte Jungnickel von den grafischen Arbeiten verstärkt zu Zeichnungen mit Kohle, Kreide und Bleistift. Ende 1915 leistete er ein halbes Jahr lang Militärdienst für Deutschland in der Etappe. 1917 fertigte er eine Mappe mit sechs Farbholzschnitten Tiere der Fabel, die später um 24 Farblithografien zur Illustration der Äsopschen Tierfabeln des klassischen Altertums erweitert wurden und 1919 beim Verlag Schroll in gebundener Form erschienen. 1918 erhielt Ludwig Heinrich Jungnickel die österreichische Staatsbürgerschaft. Das Italienische Skizzenbuch mit 40 Lithografien erschien 1921 und 1922 im Haybach-Verlag Wien L. H. Jungnickel – Studien aus der Spanischen Hofreitschule. In den 1920er Jahren unternahm er zahlreiche Reisen, die ihn nach Deutschland, Holland, Italien und Jugoslawien führten. In Italien und Jugoslawien entstanden vor allem Bilder von Küstenlandschaften. Offenbar war Jungnickel auch Schüler am Bauhaus in Weimar; die 1919 veröffentlichte Jahresmappe der Gesellschaft für vervielfältigende Kunst in Wien „Studierende des Bauhauses“ enthält seine Lithografie Reitschule. Ab 1924 war Ludwig Heinrich Jungnickel Mitglied des Wiener Künstlerhauses, wo er sich an Ausstellungen beteiligte. 1930 erhielt er den Österreichischen Staatspreis für bildende Kunst und die Goldene Ehrenmedaille der Genossenschaft der bildenden Künstler Wien, 1937 den Großen Österreichische Staatspreis für bildende Kunst; 1937 Teilnahme an der Großen Deutschen Kunstausstellung 1937 in München mit der Zeichnung Dalmatinischer Esel. Da der Präsident des Wiener Künstlerhauses seinen Ariernachweis nicht an die Behörden weitergab und man ihn vermutlich wegen Kontakten zu Juden denunziert hatte, emigrierte Jungnickel nach Opatija. Unterdessen wurde seine Wohnung von der Gestapo geräumt und 1945 sein Atelier bei einem Luftangriff zerstört. Jungnickel wurde in Abwesenheit wegen „staatsfeindlicher Betätigung“ verurteilt.Bitte beachten: Der Kaufpreis besteht aus Meistbot zuzüglich des Aufgeldes, der Umsatzsteuer sowie gegebenenfalls der Folgerechtsabgabe.

In 1782 he was at 11 Charing Cross, London and was succeeded there in 1784 by John Knubley (Gunmaker to the Prince of Wales, Duke of Clarence and Prince Edward). It is probable that this pistol therefore dates from this period. For more information see Leslie Southwick, London Silver-hilted Swords..., 2001, pp. 116 and 161The crest and motto is that of Patrick Heron (1736-1803), MP for Kirkcubright and a banker. The initial 'J' with a baron's coronet above probably refers to John Maxwell (1772-1830), who married Patrick Heron's only daughter 1802.

A Very Rare 32-Bore (.500) Flintlock Ferguson-Action Breech-Loading Park RifleBy Durs Egg, London, Circa 1790With rebrowned slightly swamped octagonal sighted barrel rifled with six spiral grooves and signed along the top flat in front of the loading aperture, silver fore-sight, and engraved with a line of beadwork in front of the back-sight, border engraved tang decorated with flowering foliage, signed border engraved flat lock (cock an old replacement) decorated with a bird in flight and foliage at the stepped tail, and with roller bearing on a ramp on the steel-spring, figured half-stock with dark horn fore-end cap, the butt (some old splits) with cheekpiece, characteristically chequered grip and carved with a shell behind the barrel tang, steel butt-plate decorated with a musical trophy on the border engraved heel tang, trigger-guard lever with foliage suspended from a ribbon on the bow, under-rib (one ramrod-pipe replaced), and later brass-mounted ramrod (some old rust patination), London proof marks 72.4 cm. barrel Footnotes:Captain Patrick Ferguson (1744-80) patented his improved version of the La Chaumette breech-loading system in 1776. He employed the quick thread on the breech-plug which enabled it to be lowered by one turn of the trigger-guard (already used by Bidet in London in the 1720s), but he improved the action to prevent jamming after a few rounds mainly by cutting a recess into the plug (for grease) and vertical grooves across the screw threads. The present rifle incorporates both these improvementsFerguson demonstrated his rifle most successfully to the Board of Ordnance and to the King, whom he told that he could fire seven shots in a minute although 'he would not undertake in that time to knock down above five of His Majesty's enemies'. Initially two rifles were made by Durs Egg, followed by the production of one hundred, which a company of Volunteer riflemen were trained to use. Under Ferguson's leadership the riflemen fought with distinction in the American War of Independence at the battle of Brandywine Creek in 1777, but Ferguson was badly wounded, and Sir William Howe, said to have been insulted because Ferguson's corps was raised without his knowledge, disbanded it, returning the men to their units. For the next two years Ferguson led raids with small bodies of troops in the Jerseys and the south, and fought under Tarleton. He was killed at the battle of King's Mountain, in North Carolina, on 7 October 1780, the only British officer with over a thousand loyal AmericansFor a related example see the Christie's London, Fine Antique Firearms from the W.
